Mark Warburton is looking forward to having an even bigger selection headache when Nottingham Forest head to face arch-rivals Derby after the international break.

David Vaughan, Jamie Ward and Matty Cash will all be fit for selection by the time the Reds head to Pride Park for a showdown with the Rams, with the trio all having returned to full training following injury.

With experienced players like Mustapha Carayol and Jack Hobbs not even able to force their way into the matchday squad for the win over Sheffield United on Saturday, Warburton knows even more quality options will be left on the sidelines when Forest return to action at the other end of Brian Clough Way.

This is one of the reasons why Warburton was keen to retain a relatively tight squad at the City Ground, but, at the same time, he would rather have too many players to choose from than too few.
